Asta von Parpart  LCl (R). rrr/fff/2.  Geschwind, 1909.  [Provenance SJHRG]
This Multiflora hybrid has long been classed with the Ramblers.  We have moved it because it is, and has always been known to be an excellent rebloomer.  It has much in common in look with the Multiflora Ramblers like 'De la Grifferaie', and can build to a sizeable plant.  Flowers are the most delightful small, old-fashioned, flat, fully double things, deep carmine pink to light purple with a sweet fragrance.  A great repeater to add to the old rose garden.

Auguste Kordes, Climbing (Lafayette, Climbing; Joseph Guy) Floribunda Cl. Good, reliable rebloom. No fragrance. Long basal canes with many laterals. Kordes, 1928. ([provenance:] San Jose Heritage Rose Garden). This climbing form of the famous Lafayette returns at last to charm another generation of rose growers; rich, rose-red flowers of cupped form, in small clusters. Excellent rebloom.

Polyanthas...Baby Bath (Bubble Bath Poly Seedling) Polyantha. Good, reliable rebloom. Good Fragrance. Compact. Robinson, 1989. ([Provenance:] Robinson). Tiny pink rosettes packed in bundles like little nosegays with a sweet perfume; this seedling of the Hybrid Musk Bubble Bath has all the charm of the earliest Polyanthas, excellent repeat and very dwarf, compact growth.

Climbing Hybrid Teas...Bardou Job ("Alcatraz Red Climber") HTCl (B) Good, reliable rebloom, outstanding fragrance, more branching habit Nabonnand/1887 (Lowery, found)
Some years ago while scouting for lost roses on Alcatraz Island, we found this in the abandoned garden of one of the wardens. It is unique in its flower form, with petals curving inward and backward, deep crimson and black-red. Phillip Robinson, convinced this is the old French climber Bardou Job, a seedling of Gloire des Rosomanes, was able to track it down in an old collection. Vigorous, floriferous, fragrant. We have recently received this rose labeled Black Boy.

BARONNE HENRIETTE DE SNOY, tea, good reliable rebloom, outstanding fragrance, habit: many tall basal canes, branching into twiggier wood above; Bernaix, 1897 (Huntington] Flesh-pink reversed carmine-pink, very double, very large and beautifully formed. Rather smooth stems of deep maroon make a rich foil to the subtly shaded flowers.

BRITISH QUEEN "BEALES' THE BRIDE", HT. Good, reliable rebloom. Outstanding fragrance. Compact and bushy. . THE BRIDE was a white sport of CATHERINE MERMET. This rose has a different look: globular, blooms of rolled-back petals and silky substance of white blushed with pink; growth compact and flowers often nodding. We are convinced that this is the original BRITISH QUEEN.
